Is Your Local 7-Eleven Now a Kwik-E-Mart?

Did you notice anything different at your local 7-Eleven this weekend? Like perhaps a small Kwik-E-Mart makeover? If so, then your 7-Eleven was one of twelve stores to receive a promotional Simpsons Movie facelift. The facelift included removing the 7-Eleven logo and replacing it with a Kwik-E-Mart one instead. They (and most of the 6,000 North American 7-Elevens) will also offer items previously only seen in the land of Homer and pals, including: Squishees, KrustyOs and Buzz Cola. The craziest part is that unlike most promotional campaigns, this time it's the retailer (7-Eleven), and not the movie studio (Fox) who is picking up the tab - reportedly "somewhere in the single millions." To see if you live near one of the converted stores, check out the Kwik-E-Mart locator.

I personally don't have one that close to me, but I did stop by a 7-Eleven to partake in a Squishee. I opted for a mix of sour watermelon and cherry. What flavor would you have chosen?

    There's one right by my office, I'm a little suprised they'd pick that one because it always looks deserted but it is in a high traffic area!

    Now it makes sense. I was at the 7-11 on Saturday and saw Krusty-Os. I almost bought some.

    This is hysterical. I really want to try the slushie now. I love those things even if they have tons of calories.

    I got some BUZZ Cola this AM, but they were out of Krusty-O's. BOO. The one in Seattle gets robbed all the time, but I can see why they chose that spot - it's right near the Space Needle and so a big tourist area. It was really fun just to go in tho! : )

    Dang, I wish I didn't have to drive all the way to Burbank to see one. I think I'll just get myself a squishee at one of the ones near me.

    Why is the Bay Area one in Mountain View? I don't want to drive out to Mountain View for a squishee! I have no reason to go to Mountain View... Except now I do. And I probably will... Stupid Kwik-E-Mart...

    This is completely awesome. Makes me wish I hadn't moved away from Dallas to a non-Kwik-E-Mart area so I could play too.

    On our way home from a BBQ last night we stopped at the one in LA (around Culver City). It was PACKED- there was a line to get in and everyone was taking pictures, even though it's been there for a week now! They were sold out of everything except Squishies and pink donuts. I got Blue Vanilla and a donut and I thought it tasted like a sugar rush! I've never had anything so sugary, it was nuts! Lots of fun, though, and I haven't watched the Simpsons in YEARS.
